A glass of lemon, lime and bitters with two straws, on a green background.

Lemon lime bitters

This quintessential Aussie drink of lime, lemon and bitters is just the thirst-buster you need on a hot summer's day. It's a doddle to make with only three ingredients; lemonade, lime juice and a few drops of bitters. Reportedly, over a 100 million of these are served in Australia each year. That's one iconic drink!
